This song used to make me emotional even before watching "Chobits", but now, it's hitting even harder. "Ningyo Hime", translated directly as "Mermaid Princess", is the name that Japanese use for the famous fairytale "The Little Mermaid". I was thinking about this story and "Chobits" and drew many conclusions. First at all, both stories are about relashionships between two different species: human and mermaid/persocom. Both Chii and the mermaid are very naive in the human world, but they still want to learn and know more. Both love their human (prince/Hideki) selflessly and are willing to sacrifice anything for him. But most importantly, both mermaids and persocoms have no soul. In the story, a mermaid only could gain a soul if a human loves her very much. Of course, she couldn't achieve that: the prince loved her as a child, and she became sea foam. But the daughters of air decided to grant her a soul as a reward for her kind actions, and therefore, she became one of them. In Chii's story (in anime, I know that the manga has a different ending), the ending is different: she actually has a soul, she is loved back by Hideki and grants it to every persocom in the world.
| remember borrowing this anime from my childhoold friend and I was around that age too. That mix of sadness and happiness is just on point for me. Good Old times.
Just sort of flashing back a couple decades to those carefree times of just sitting down to watch a full anime series. No big responsibilities, no big worries. Just a wide open future and plenty of time to slack off and enjoy things. Life is still good, but stuff like this from that era gives me a sort of melancholy nostalgia. So much time has already passed....
I wish Chobits was real. It's a sad depressing wicked world now. Persocoms like Chii would make the world less lonely place. A world with less "fake love" and more *real love* since humans don't do that nowadays but only those that do!... are Just the people who already been or in a relationship
It's my first "found via the internet" anime from 2 decades ago. Now nostalgia made this, the first japanese song I am trying to learn to play on the guitar and sing. Haha.
I used to like this song for it’s depressing tone but later, it was bothering me that this was only a sad song to me so I had recently checked the English on this and it really lines up with the show in how the persocom Chii and looking for this side of herself. I mentioned in another comment that she is searching for this other ‘Chii’ and this Chii challenges the protagonist to commit to her or something and that he had to, like, fully accept her and not like how other people accepted their persocoms as object but like a human being that you actually love and commit to. It’s kind of an “-or else” quality but it’s no problem to the protagonist because he already had feelings for her and was willing to commit to her. Apparently, even in the show, there’s parallels to The Little Mermaid. I had no idea but then again I didn’t know “Ningyo Hime” was the Japanese title of The Little Mermaid. I took it as “Doll Princess”. Maybe there’s parallels but I liked the commenter who made those connections. Anyhoo, Chobits was one of the anime that I really enjoyed; even reading because their feelings grow and the guy doesn’t reduce Chii to an object for his pleasure but a person and eventually gets this push by the other Chii to pursue her romantically. It made me think about the Jungian Shadow that doesn’t necessarily mean “the bad side” but more the hidden; repressed side of a human and one of those hidden things are the want of human desire. We all want to be loved and to love but sometimes we have a hard time doing that. But ultimately, we shouldn’t repress ourselves. This song might have to do with depression and finding oneself in it but I think it’s both.
This song is really bring the vibes of the deep true feeling of LOVE... it made my heart like been squeezed really hard and i cannot barely breathing 😣😵😖❤️
Let me tell you how this ending feels. If an episode of an anime ends and the ending plays you usually just go to the other episode of the anime and continue watching. But this makes you feel sad. Sad that the episode ended and you have this little emptyness inside you. Of course you could just go the next episode but the ending still would be sad. And this is why I love classic anime sm
Read a few articles about 'robot partners' being widely available in the next few years. This anime is about to become more relevant than ever as some of the themes and ideas, will be prophetic.
Pt.2 You must find yourself and in return find the person you want to be with and pursue that person. (I’m using the anime as a buffer for this theory). Thing that made this possible was that the protagonist was already in love with Chii so he just had to pursue her than being so passive and ‘respectful’. Some women who like guys want that man to make it clear and obvious; and pursue them; that a woman wants to make their feelings known but also be fully accepted and not rejected for the unpleasant side of them ; and not solely objectified by a person and yet to do so on their own terms.
If you think this is some generic ecchi romantic comedy wait until it smashes you upside the head with "my robot wife with alzheimers died saving my life from getting run over by a truck and I've never gotten over it."
I know this song from many years earlier - now when I hear this song, I see my girlfriend. Shie is very lovely but she keeps after as Chii. I want ro say for everyone the world, you will have your Chii sooner of after, but doesn't matter. Love your life, fellas!
I watched Chobits back in the day but never finished it since the site didn’t have all the episodes but I’m rewatching it now to finish it & I just finished ep 14 & this song fits so perfectly at the end
Although I just found and watched Chobits this song bugs me since I first heard it... Somehow the melody connects to a childhood memory. Nothing specific, just a feeling, like it played on the radio years ago. But I can certainly say that there never played music with Japanese lyrics. Anyway, I can´t find it myself (yet). But since this is the Internet: Do you know a similar song which could have caused this confusion?
I'm in the same boat. There's a song that was on the radio in the early 2000's that sort of sounds like this and I can't remember what it was. Also "Eternal Flame" has the same minor chord progression.
Just got a flashback as I listened to an anime at a similar time. Things really changed for me so much. I am oddly enough, happier and more honest with myself. It’s been a ride but I have had myself considering more things. This song isn’t so sad to me as it once was. The pace feels quicker than I remember and the attachment i once had to the song seems a bit detached. It feels like it’s supposed to be sad but it just feels like a cool melody and a bit hopeful now. Before, it was like you’re in a pit but you see light. Now, it’s like you’re out of that pit and consider from the outside the beauty of the outside. Sure the pit was what it was and that hope that kept you from giving up but, you’re ultimately just glad you’re not there anymore. I suppose my predisposition is just a bit more angled that way as of late. I am not happy all the time but I am not predisposed to sadness. I had done a lot of introspection, psychology research, inner child work, journaling, venting, etc. My priorities are clearer, believe it or not. I still have particular issues but they aren’t dominating my life as much as they used to. I do a lot of thinking but my thoughts aren’t as hyper focused anymore. I sort of miss it but I like the ease I have in being that much more flexible and honest in what I’m desiring. Ultimately, I am far more put-together than I had been. I thank the attachment theory learning but all the things that I had learned which brought me to this point. It would’ve been nice to have help back then but if possible, I’d like to help others as well. Some people you cannot help as they can be too overly consumed with issues that their ideology makes it near impossible to reason with them beyond their troubles. Letting go has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do because I have somewhat of a survivor’s guilt with my emotions and I wish I could help every person with similar problems that I once had but, it’s like a bridge. Once you cross it, the other side remains hazardous. To return back or even attempt to help must be done with care lest you fall and end up in a worst state. I understand that sounds harsh but my prior experience has taught me that. You’re not in any position to help anyone as you need to maintain your own stable sanity and helping others haphazardly is like helping a drowning person: if you aren’t careful, you yourself could drown. All in all, I still wish better for people and their appreciation of this song. I still return to it. It still is a time capsule of a profound story. I hope people really get the meaning of Chobits and not missed the point and just think “sadness is cute uwu”. It’s just much deeper than that.
Where did people even watch this anime? I never saw it on tv but I always heard of it because it was one of the popular anime that popped up when you did a photo bucket or google image search.
Pt. 3 I think Japanese society; especially the women have an issue with depression. Their society doesn’t really accept mental illness and almost considers it a burden. So artists circumvent that disdain by art. They do it all the time. They did it in the movie, “Bubble” and they’re probably did it in Howls Moving Castle 🏰. Heck, same with Attack on Titan, imo. I think it’s assumed that someone will pursue them as they’d like and pull them out of their depression but they’ve got to take achievable goals out of that state; with help. No one can chase you down and rid you of depression. It’s like a pit, via trained professional, can help you out of. But those involved have have passive support and aid them in simply being there and root for them; combatting their beliefs about themselves and the state of the world. Your views in depression about reality are distorted so you can’t really trust your own beliefs about life. There is hope but that hope is very very practical and very very longterm to break those beliefs. It’s training your mind to believe differently in very small steps. Maybe from a partner and maybe from themselves; but definitely encouraged by a specialist in depression. But Japan, just given their media, has a big depression problem that we aren’t really talking about. You can’t just get by in scenarios with “guts”. But there are anime that really makes it helpful; like “Komi Can’t Communicate”. She gets help by taking very small doable goals to improve her life.
@@SSS-ie6mhWhat’s far fetched about having a professional help you with achievable goals and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ya know, a _tool_ professionals use to help people out of depression? Depression is a state of perpetual hopelessness enabled by severe suppression by their environment. How do you even get out of that hole? With help. What does that help entail? Empathy, strategy, and professional guidance throughout a long period of time; even with drugs possibly. That’s not that far-fetched.
근데 이거 노래랑 가사가 좀 다른거 같은데 뭔가요? 2:01 부분에 일본어를 영어 가사로 자막을 써놨는데, kitto doko kaniha~ iru to negai~ nagara~~ aruku~~ 라고 써놨는데, 막상 들리는건 다릅니다. 여기 뿐만이 아니고 다른곳도 마찬가지에요. kitto doko kaniwa~ itto to negai~ nagaru~~ aruku~~ 라고 들립니다.
I can only assume it means colorless lights. In depression, colors and life loses their significance and thus seem almost _dull_ . You seem to almost lose yourself and become someone whom you weren’t before. Almost like a different person. The song seems to revolve around the singer finding herself. It might be a significant other but it doesn’t elaborate on that so that’s why I’m concluding that it means one’s self. In the Chobits story (it’s been a while) Chii finds a persocom that looks just like her and you can almost assume that this is her Jungian Shadow or her psychological ID; despite being non-human. But the idea that I liked in the manga is that the protagonist had to choose Chii fully or…like the destruction of the world, or something and not just to treat her like a doll to be used but a woman of autonomy who might not be sweet all the time but to accept her anyway. Part of the song is to not leave the other half, the repressed, hidden, half that isn’t always pleasant, to not leave that ‘person’ / side of herself, alone. I think it’s running parallels of someone dealing with depression but also wanting to feel accepted; but more importantly, _not rejected_ . Also if I can remember, this is when Chii goes missing in the Anime; which is probably what she’s doing because of this other persocom that looks like Chii. It’s calling to her and she has no choice but to follow that voice. Ultimately, the verse, to me, meant that she is looking for herself throughout her depression. Hope that helps!

A mixture of happiness and sadness comes over me when I hear this. A beautiful thing. Only art can do this...
This song used to make me emotional even before watching "Chobits", but now, it's hitting even harder.
"Ningyo Hime", translated directly as "Mermaid Princess", is the name that Japanese use for the famous fairytale "The Little Mermaid". I was thinking about this story and "Chobits" and drew many conclusions.

That's honestly so beautiful thank for this information 💕
crying right now ;___;
@Shiki * Ningen is human, ningyo means mermaid
@Shiki * Ningyo means mermaid.
It also means _doll_ which is what Chii literally is. A doll.
It's clever.
Should be mentioned that the daughters of air was an addition to the story of the little mermaid much later, in the original ending she just dies.
This song is incredibly beautiful 😢
Listening to this makes me feel 15 again. I’m 32.
Me too
the same, the last time I was listening to this song I was mb 13, now I’m almost 30.. the song name randomly appeared in my mind
Same here. "Warning! Warning! This is not a lingerie store!"
our Chobits phase never ended.
| remember borrowing this anime from my childhoold friend and I was around that age too. That mix of sadness and happiness is just on point for me. Good Old times.
This song gives me the sweetest form of nostalgia

Yess I agree with you 😌@@Chiyomi_Anzai599
I cry every time I listen to this 🖤
It's my first "found via the internet" anime from 2 decades ago.
Now nostalgia made this, the first japanese song I am trying to learn to play on the guitar and sing. Haha.
Exactly.
I found this 11 years ago and i even bought the DVD after enjoying it on the net!
Same boat. The song pops into my head every so often and it just takes me back to my early teenage years when I consumed a LOT of great anime.
OHH!! POST IT HONEY QWQ IVEE LOVED THIS SERIES SINSE I WAS A TEEN QWQ
Why is there so much beautiful but heartbreaking stuff in this world

This song is so beautiful. I really like Chobits. With love from Russia
Probably one of the best slice of life animes I've seen thus far
Welcome to the N H K is good too.
every year i listen to a select few anime songs. this has been on my list for almost 20 years now. i will never not love this song.
My First Anime on DVD ❤ 2024 over 13 Years watcht it again and again
This song makes my heart drop
This song is really bring the vibes of the deep true feeling of LOVE... it made my heart like been squeezed really hard and i cannot barely breathing 😣😵😖❤️
This is one of the most beautiful ending ever in anime... so meaningful, perfect for one of my fav Clamp manga (alongside X) ❤
Still thinking about this beautiful song 7 years later
truly cathartic. Thank you for the subtiles, made it much easier to sing with ^.^
I adore this song so much
After all this time (watched this when it was "current season") I still remember the lyrics... I love this song
Still a a top 10 ending song for a favorite anime of mine such a great and bitter sweet anime.
Oh man it brings back memories. Last time i listened to this was like 5 years ago
I both love this anime and this song. Fits the mood extremely well in the later episodes
Let me tell you how this ending feels. If an episode of an anime ends and the ending plays you usually just go to the other episode of the anime and continue watching. But this makes you feel sad. Sad that the episode ended and you have this little emptyness inside you. Of course you could just go the next episode but the ending still would be sad. And this is why I love classic anime sm
I’d encourage you to read the manga. It’s trips away the filler. It’s pretty good.
But in all fairness, the filler in chobits was pretty solid and nessasery to flesh out the characters more
This song is so haunting and beautiful!! I've never seen this series, so I have nothing to connect it to. But damn
Read a few articles about 'robot partners' being widely available in the next few years. This anime is about to become more relevant than ever as some of the themes and ideas, will be prophetic.
I still know this song by heart after like 5 years from watching
This song is so beautiful... but at the same time so painful. My heart is aching, but I am still happy. Weird feeling
this song always made me feel like old memories come back... promise I made that I can't remember...
I love this song! Awesome video ^_^
Pt.2

its hard to listen to this song.... it reminds me of middle school...... iwas 13 when chobit was airing on animax......
Such Nice melody
Beautiful
I’m mot cryin', you cryin'.
RM, stop cutting onions TwT

Lembro que sempre pulava a ending
tão melancólica.
I watched Chobits back in the day but never finished it since the site didn’t have all the episodes but I’m rewatching it now to finish it & I just finished ep 14 & this song fits so perfectly at the end
Guess its time to binge watch this again in one day

this song's melody always reminded me of some of radioheads songs. karma police for an instance
i finally found it.
Este tema me mata... Muy bueno!!!
This song reminds me of Noir's ending theme
Just got a flashback as I listened to an anime at a similar time.
Things really changed for me so much.
I am oddly enough, happier and more honest with myself.
It’s been a ride but I have had myself considering more things.
This song isn’t so sad to me as it once was. The pace feels quicker than I remember and the attachment i once had to the song seems a bit detached.

I am not happy all the time but I am not predisposed to sadness. I had done a lot of introspection, psychology research, inner child work, journaling, venting, etc.
My priorities are clearer, believe it or not. I still have particular issues but they aren’t dominating my life as much as they used to.
I do a lot of thinking but my thoughts aren’t as hyper focused anymore. I sort of miss it but I like the ease I have in being that much more flexible and honest in what I’m desiring.

All in all, I still wish better for people and their appreciation of this song. I still return to it. It still is a time capsule of a profound story.
I hope people really get the meaning of Chobits and not missed the point and just think “sadness is cute uwu”.
It’s just much deeper than that.
Although I like the song, it's so sad.
I dunno why, but I feel like I'm a loser in a love triangle fight everytime I hear this song.

Amo este video

You know I've often wondered about that kind of thing myself.
But no matter, the whole series is on funimations UA-cam channel now so it's all good.
The year was 2010 (I think LOL) I went to my library and checked out the manga then the anime DVD'S.
2009 some anime streaming site binged it in a day.
It was on toonami in 2004-2005, around the same time as Inuyasha.
My older sister had left her copy of the DVDs so that's how I found it and watched
This city has no people
Hermoso ending. Muy buena serie la de Chobits
love this song
This song still makes my eyes a lil wet
😍😍😍💗💗💗💗💜💜💜👏 amo esta canción y mas el anime!!!!

Love this song but doesn't it sound a bit like Eric Claptons - Let it grow (just the musical score)
Does anyone know what "the silver lights burn in every room" means?
I can only assume it means colorless lights.
In depression, colors and life loses their significance and thus seem almost _dull_ .
You seem to almost lose yourself and become someone whom you weren’t before. Almost like a different person.
The song seems to revolve around the singer finding herself.
It might be a significant other but it doesn’t elaborate on that so that’s why I’m concluding that it means one’s self.
In the Chobits story (it’s been a while) Chii finds a persocom that looks just like her and you can almost assume that this is her Jungian Shadow or her psychological ID; despite being non-human.
But the idea that I liked in the manga is that the protagonist had to choose Chii fully or…like the destruction of the world, or something and not just to treat her like a doll to be used but a woman of autonomy who might not be sweet all the time but to accept her anyway.

Ultimately, the verse, to me, meant that she is looking for herself throughout her depression.
